Objective To compare the efficacy of sevoflurane-remifentanil and propofol-remifentanil anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for cancer.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ - Ⅲ patients aged 65-80 years old with gastric cancer were divided into sevoflurane group(group S) and propofol group (group P), 30 cases in each group.Perioperative hemodynamic variables, bispectral index( BIS ) values and the time of recovery from anesthesia, extubation and awake were recorded as well.Results Compared with those before anesthesia,diastolic blood pressure(DBP),mean arterial pressure(MAP), heart rate(HR) and BItS were signifieanfly decreased (P < 0.05 or < 0.01 ).SBP was higher at cutting skin in group S than that in group P (P < 0.05 ).The depths of anesthesia in both groups were maintained well with BIS in 45-60 and vital signs were stable during operation.The time of recovery from anesthesia, extubafion and awake were shorter in group S [(4.1±2.2),(5.4±2.1),(7.3±2.1)min]thanthoseingroupP [(7.5±3.2),(8.6± 4.2), ( 11.2 ± 4.1 ) min]( P < 0.05 or < 0.01 ).Conclusions Either sevoflurane-remifentanil and propofol-remifentanil anesthesia can be used safely in elderly patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for cancer.Sevotlurane-remifentanil combined with anesthesia provides better hemodynamic stability and faster recovery than propofol-remifentanil combined with anesthesia in elderly patients.

Objective: To evaluate the heating effects on SDS PAGE patterns of soymilk protein, trypsin inhibitor activity and sulfhydryl bond content in soymilkMethods: Soymilk samples were heated at 95 ℃,120 ℃ and 140 ℃.SDS PAGE was adopted to detect the pattern changes of soymilk proteins after heating and ? mercaptoethanol pretreatment. Trypsin activities were analyzed to detect the changes of trypsin inhibitor activities. Ellman method was used to detect sulfhydryl bond.Results: The protein bands of 7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16 disappeared and one new band(band 17)with Mr of 104 620 appeared in the SDS PAGE pattern of soymilk proteins after heated at 95 ℃,120 ℃ and 140 ℃. The sulfhydryl bond content decreased after heating and this change contributed to the pattern change of soymilk protein by ? mercaptoethanol pretreatment and by determining the sulfhydryl bond content. The holding time to inactivate 90% of soy bean inhibitor activity at 95 ℃ ,120 ℃ and 140 ℃ were 35 min, 7 min and 60 s respectively.Conclusion: Heating treatment may change the sulfhydryl bond and SDS PAGE pattern of soymilk proteins. The TDT curve indicates that the holding time required to inactivate 90% of soybean trypsin inhibitor could be reduced ten folds by raising 30 ℃ within the temperature range of 95 140 ℃.

The non-neuronal cholinergic system, widely exists in prokaryotic, eukarytic, and even plant cells, however, it has not been investigated in preadipocytes and adipocytes. To search for evidence its existence in preadipocytes and adipocytes, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α7 subunit, acetyicholinesterase (ACHE) and choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) in 3T3-L1 cells were examined using immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. The choline-regulated visfatin expression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was also tested by reverse transcriptase-PCR. Incubation with methyilycaconitine (10-6 to 10-4mol/L) for 12, 24 and 36 hours dose-dependently increased visfatin expression from 1.3- to 1.55-folds (P <0.01) with maximal induction at 24 hours with 10-4mol/L methyllycaconitine. Nicotine treatments (10-6 to 10-4 mol/L) for 12, 24 and 36 hours decreased visfatin expression; choline chloride (10-4 mol/L))suppressed visfatin expression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes at 36 hours by 1.64 to 2.03 fold (P < 0.05) which was more effective as compared with nicotine. It was concluded that α7 nAChR was expressed in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and involved in visfatin expression.
